Ingredients:

• 1 medium sweet potato
• 1 cup green beans
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes. Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber and vitamins, making them a healthy base for this salad.
   • Trim and cut the green beans into bite-sized pieces. Green beans provide essential vitamins and minerals for your dog’s diet.
2. Cook the Sweet Potato:
   • Steam or boil the sweet potato cubes until they are tender but not mushy, approximately 10-15 minutes. Allow them to cool. Steaming retains more nutrients compared to boiling.
3. Cook the Green Beans:
   • Steam or boil the green beans until tender, around 5-7 minutes. Let them cool. Steaming helps maintain their nutritional value.
4. Combine Ingredients:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sweet potato and green beans. These ingredients together offer a balanced blend of nutrients for your dog.
5. Dress the Salad:
   • Drizzle the olive oil and apple cider vinegar over the vegetables. Mix well to coat. Olive oil provides healthy fats, while apple cider vinegar aids digestion.
6. Serve:
   • Portion out the salad into serving containers for easy travel. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This travel-friendly meal ensures your dog enjoys a healthy and nutritious diet on the go.

Tips for Preparing and Serving:

1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality vegetables to maximize the nutritional benefits for your dog. Avoid using canned or processed alternatives.
2. Portion Control: Adjust the portion sizes based on your dog’s size and dietary needs. Larger dogs may require more, while smaller breeds will need less.
3. Storage: Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The salad can typically last for a few days, making it convenient for multiple meals.
4. Serve at Room Temperature: Allow the salad to reach room temperature before serving to enhance the flavors and make it more appealing to your dog.
5. Gradual Introduction: Introduce new foods gradually to your dog’s diet to avoid digestive issues. Monitor for any signs of allergies or sensitivities.
